David Jenkins Says DC and HBO’s ‘Booster Gold’ Series Won’t Move Forward

David Jenkins, the creator of HBO’s Our Flag Means Death, has confirmed that DC and HBO’s planned Booster Gold television series will not move forward. Jenkins wrote on Threads, “My Booster Gold won’t be moving forward,” according to a Deadline report published July 31.

Booster Gold has been discussed publicly as a prospective live-action series tied to DC’s comic book universe, with Jenkins attached as creator. The confirmation means the project has effectively moved from development toward cancellation, at least as far as Jenkins and the show’s creative plans are concerned.

Jenkins’s post arrives after a stretch of fan-facing uncertainty about the status of the series. Deadline previously reported that the project was in active development around Comic-Con about a year ago, reflecting how the property had continued to circulate in industry coverage as television plans evolved.

Deadline’s report frames Jenkins’s Threads message as the clearest statement to date from the show’s creator. While the post does not cite reasons, it does provide a direct outcome for audiences who had been waiting for further updates on production and renewal-like steps.

HBO and DC have not been cited in the Deadline report with an additional public statement about the series’ end. As a result, the record available from the reporting centers on Jenkins’s confirmation rather than an official network or studio explanation detailing whether changes in scheduling, budgeting, or creative direction drove the decision.

The announcement also closes the loop on a project that had drawn ongoing attention from DC’s broader television community, particularly given Jenkins’s profile and track record with comedy and character-focused storytelling. For viewers, the impact is straightforward: there will be no forthcoming Booster Gold series rollout tied to this specific creator attachment.

Going forward, any next steps for the Booster Gold IP would depend on new announcements from DC and Warner Bros. Television or HBO, if and when they appoint different creative leadership or revive the property in another form. Until then, Jenkins’s statement is the operative update on whether the HBO series was moving ahead.

The cancellation confirmation underscores how quickly television development can shift, even for high-profile comic adaptations with well-known creators attached, and it leaves DC fans without a date or episode order that had previously been anticipated as the project moved through the industry calendar.
